Converging on
Paris to South
Germans Leaving Entrenchments on Right;
Marching in Southeast Direction
Paris, 3:15 p. m.—An official announcement says:
“The enemy is pursuing his wide movement.
He continues to leave the entrenched camp of Paris
on his right and to march in a southeast direction.”
One word, omission of which from the French official statement is
indicated by asterisks, was evidently confused in cable transmission. It
appears most likely to have been meant for "converging.”

patch to the Midi from
Home, under today’s date,

“The order for a general

ual summons is less active.”

ter while he was heading the retreat
of Belgian troops to Antwerp.
A shell exploded against the rear
wheel of the automobile In which King
Albert was seated and his car was
badly damaged.
Earlier advices reported what was
probably the same incident but it has
not been before stated that the king
was wounded. It stated his car had
been slightly damaged by a stray bit
of a shell.

Immense Armies Move
Matter of Conjecture
Conflicting news dispatches and vague official statements leave the
fortunes of the immense armies struggling before Paris today a matter
of conjecture.
All accounts agree, however, that the moment Is approaching swlftlv
when the French capital must have resort to Its own defenses. Despite
occasional temporary successes of the allies their line appears to be slow
ly giving ground before the German advance. The Germans, in a eeml
drole, seem to have reached points east and west of Paris, their left
wing touching l.aferte-sous-Jouarre, in the Department of Slene-et-Mame.
The German troops also appear to be much nearer Paris than has
been indicated officially; they are said to he within a few miles of Chan
tilly, 20 miles north of the capital.
How Artillery of
Germans Get Range
Paris, 5:30 a. m. —An Infuntcyrnsn
on his way lo the hospital at Nice
told the correspondent of The Matin
that the German aviators fly over the
camps at night and when they can
locate a bivouac they let fall a rocket
that leaves a long line of sparks be
hind, thus enabling their artillery to
get the range. 'Ten minutes after the
rocket falls shells begin to burst
around the spot.
AROUND PARIS.
PARIS, 3:25 p. m.—lt has become appa
rent to observers here that the Germans do
not intend to engage the allied armies sent
to meet them northwest of Paris. The ene
my evidently is making an extended turning
movement.
